Sea Side Soccer Tournament

This past weekend, Jess had a soccer tournament in Wilmington, NC. They didn't do as well as they would have liked, but all the girls played hard.

Here are just a few pictures.

2nd Annual Tuesday Blog Party part 2

And the winner is.....
Sharlene!!!!



From now until May 8th, I am holding this give-away to help benefit Whatchagonnado.org, which is an organization that was founded by Charley & Jessica Whitt to honor their daughter Tuesday.
Although their site is not completely up and running yet, the idea they have is. (it will be up by mid-May)
Whatchagonnado.org is being set up to benefit families that are dealing directly with pediatric cancer. It will help to fund their medical costs, food & travel, and even funeral arrangements, if needed :(

And, of course, it will also help to provide funds for Pediatric Cancer Research.

Charley & Jess know all too well what it is to live with pediatric cancer....
Tuesday was their beautiful twin daughter who bravely fought and sadly lost her 8 month battle with stage 4 neuroblastoma in January of 2009. They learned firsthand what cancer does to a family and they want to turn their pain & their loss into something to help others.

I, along with all of Jess & Charley's friends, want to do anything we can to help them achieve their goal and make sure that the loss of Tuesday is never forgotten and always has purpose.

Up for auction I have a handmade child's bracelet. This is on the arm of my 6 year old daughter.

All you have to do to enter to win this auction is simply leave me a comment letting me know you are interested in winning and then, be sure to donate $1 to the Tuesday Fiona Whitt Foundation, which benefits Whatchagonnado.org.

Also, head on over to the Tuesday Blog Party to see what other fantastic items are being auctioned off by clicking the image below.

There are lots of great auctions going on and all it costs is one dollar to enter each one. (unless otherwise specified)

If you would like to make one donation, instead of many individual donations, please feel free to donate however is easiest for you.
If you end up donating $10, but only find 5 auctions you are interested in, you can use those additional dollars as additional entries :)
Thank you so much for supporting a great cause and remember to have fun!
Good luck!

Strawberry Pickin'

Friday morning I met up with some friends to go Strawberry picking. Since the girls were in school, it was just 3 mommies and their boys. They all had a great time.

However, the first thing the boys spotted was the tractors boy were they in heaven to just stand next to it!

Then the chickens...

...and the pigs, they admired form afar!

Finally, time for some strawberry pickin'!
and boy did they look yummy!

Owen was proud of his strawberry!


Sean found some good ones, too!


Brotherly Love! It just melts my heart!

Not even halfway there! Keep Pickin'

4 Friends

= 8 dirty little feet!

It's For Tuesday!

These are the Whitts...

Axel, Spencer, Piper & Tuesday
They are the beautiful children of my friends, Jess & Charley. They are privileged children.
Privileged because they grew up in a home full of love, in a family that envelopes the very meaning of home... where the world revolved around happiness. and exploring. and adventure. and love of man. and earth.
Their parents did everything right. For their kids.
Everything.
Healthy food. Healthy living. Happy life.
And then cancer came.

Piper, Axel, Spencer & Tuesday
It was a shock.
They did everything they should do. They loved their bodies. Their children. Their world.
They ate healthy. They lived strong. They fought hard. Every.single.day.
And cancer still won.

Spencer, Piper & Axel
There's a big gaping hole where Tuesday once was. A hole that everyone can feel and yet no one can fill.
All the prayers, the tears, the hugs, the love.... none of it touches that space.
Nothing.
But they still feel love and hope and happiness.
And that is why I do what I do.
To help bring them any bit of happiness I can.
And part of that is to make sure Tuesday is never forgotten and that her legacy lives on forever.
Not because the family asked it of me, but because I need to do it for them.
Because I love Tuesday and miss her.
In 2 days, the Tuesday Blog Party begins.
Whatchagonnado?
Be a part of it and help us make a difference.
Please.
For Tuesday.
For the Whitts.
For all of the children fighting cancer and winning.
And especially for the ones who aren't.


I wish I could take credit for these beautifully written words, but I can't. It was written by Debi.
